Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

AbstractBenign paroxysmal positional vertigo can be treated by repositioning manoeuvres. Current manoeuvres can be cumbersome to perform and require determination of the canal affected, usually by assessing nystagmus direction on provocation. We developed a new series of manoeuvres to manage benign paroxysmal positional vertigo of each semicircular canal. The canal affected, and thus the manoeuvre used in each case, was determined by the patient's subjective report of vertigo on provocative head positioning. The reported manoeuvres were utilised in 216 patients, with an excellent rate of symptom resolution (96.7 per cent). The Li particle repositioning manoeuvres are effective, reliable and simply performed alternatives for the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Background: It is known that traumatic brain injury (TBI), even of the mild variety, can cause diffuse multisystem neurological damage. Coordination of sensory input from the visual, vestibular and somatosensory pathways is important to obtain proper balance and stabilization in the visual environment. This coordination of systems is potentially disrupted in TBI leading to visual symptoms and complaints of dizziness and imbalance. The Center of Balance (COB) at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) is an interprofessional clinic specifically designed for patients with such complaints. An evaluation entails examination by an optometrist, audiologist and physical therapist and is concluded with a comprehensive rehabilitative treatment plan. The clinical construct will be described and a case report will be presented to demonstrate this unique model. Case Report: A combat veteran with a history of a gunshot wound to the skull, blunt force head trauma and exposure to multiple explosions presented with complaints of difficulty reading and recent onset dizziness. After thorough evaluation in the COB, the patient was diagnosed with and treated for severe oculomotor dysfunction and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Conclusion: Vision therapy was able to provide a successful outcome via improvement of oculomotor efficiency and control. Physical therapy intervention was able to address the benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The specific evaluation and management as pertains to the aforementioned diagnoses, as well as the importance of an interprofessional rehabilitative approach, will be outlined.
